A coder for the Diaspora project changed a dropdown to indicate gender into a text field. In the author’s words, “I’ve gotten comfortable with the idea of gender as an n-dimensional space, with two big clusters and a hell of a lot of outliers.” Interesting stuff, with points of discussion about both identity and data mining.
